It is probably time to put the HRS blog authorship discussion to rest, since it seems to be going in circles. -- Tom Sherman - Fox River Valley |

BigHa (was: Consider Group Name Change)

I will cease debating the authorship of the HRS blog with Mr. McNamara, since pretty much everything that could reasonably be said has been said. If Mr. McNamara wished to continue, that is his option. -- Tom Sherman - Fox River Valley |

I have nothing against Bigha, it looks like a good $1500 bike. I just wonder who would be nuts enough to pay $4600 for one. Lorenzo L.

So, would you pay $3,900.00 to $4,600.00 [1] for a BigHa? Yes, I knew exactly what Mr. Sherman was doing and so that is why I stayed out of it. He had obviously adopted the Lorenzo L. Love tactic of harping on a single point and since it was a fairly good point and was hard to refute, it more or less worked. But no one does better than Mr. Love what he does. I think he drove poor Mr. Varney crazy. That entire thread is a classic and worth reviewing in order to learn something about tactics and humor. Somehow it never got to be tedious like Mr. Sherman's effort. What Mr. Sherman should have done of course is to have severely edited those posts on the HRS blogs. If he had done that it is possible that the thread would also have become a classic instead of being merely tedious. Brevity is the soul of wit. Regards, Ed Dolan - Minnesota |

There was no casue for you to refer to me aA Jimmy Oil, but I will overlook that. Your point is well taken and apparenly Tom feels likewise ... we agree on something at last. Quite some time back, I requested that Tom accept an agree to diasgree truce so that we could just let this go and move on, but my reasonable suggestion was rejected sevral times. At this juncture, it is reasonable to assume that the readership has grown weary of this debate. All that was in need of being said has likely already been said several times over. I agree with you. The debate must cease. I'm done ... debate concluded. JimmyMac |
